Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

DAC Design Engineering

Tony- You make yet another set of good informed obserations. Makes a lot if sense that the braintrust is not in the consumer audio little niche industry. I am very suspicious of the arguments for DAC types ( NOS vs oversampling, vs up sampling) I suspect there are bigger and more fundamental issues at stake, from analogue stage quality, to power supplies. Let's face it; a good spiel and a fancy faceplate is a fairly reliable way to make some money around these here parts. And then there is the OCD accuracy myopia that sacrifices musicality for measurements and the majority of the industry is somewhere between theses poles.
Anyway, are there any specific key design specs that you have found to be significant or indicative of the engineering quality?
